TL;DR - This release proves that the future of qualitative comment analysis is bright.
Weâve been working hard to balance the power of AI with the need to have manual control. The result? An efficient âhybridâ approach that equips you with the best of both worlds, fine tune controls and automation.
AI Powered Comment Summarizer *
In a perfect world, there would be the time to spend an entire day contemplating the meaning of each and every long comment or email. Needless to say, no organization can move that slowly.
â
Konveio's generative AI will now summarize long comments down to their main points automatically, so you can familiarize yourself with the data at a high level or remember what comments were about with a quick scan
AI Powered Auto-Tagging *
Tagging a few comments isn't bad, but reach a certain scale and it becomes a different story. Auto-tagging starts with your team identifying a range of tags you'd like to use and then AI will safely analyze your data and apply your comment tags from your list to comments when they're relevant. Learn more.
AIÂ Powered Auto-Theming *
With tags applied, you can then visit the themes tab to generate and review cross cutting themes from comments that share the same tag. A great starting point for summarizing your consultation.
This can rapidly summarize the feedback you've received, topic by topic. Gain insights from massive datasets quickly and refine the analysis by exploring our controls, or exporting to Microsoft Word for further analysis.
Comments made with Discussions tool receive AI Auto-Tagging and Auto-Theming support *
Konveio is known for facilitating feedback in the form of comments made on documents themselves. But, we also offer a discussions tool to collect feedback on web pages or over documents as a content overlay.
â
This update makes our latest innovations with auto-tagging and auto-theming work with the feedback you've collected using discussions, in addition to commenting.
File Upload Field for comments

â
Automatic image compression for Konveio's Document Summary feature
Images are a great way to make a summary share the same look and feel as your brand and help to give context to each chapter or section you call out. However, as with any other website, large images can create slow loading times. And these days, image files can be surprisingly large.
â
Adding an extra workflow step to resize and compress images for a summary isn't fun, so we've decided to do it for you! Although a small change, it ensures a good experience for your team and your online visitors too and we live for win-win's like that. Coming to all clients in our next release.

The general theme of this release is to improve the reading and participation experience on mobile devices.

These changes simplify the user interface, makes commenting on documents easier, as well as addressing fundamental readability challenges that are inherent to the PDFÂ format with Mobile Reflow which is in beta testing.

Refreshed Mobile Interface
Reader Friendly Mobile Experience (BETA)
With an accessible (tagged)Â PDF, Konveio will transform your well designed documents into reader friendly experiences like a Kindle or e-book. This allows readers to engage with your content in their native font size with the flick of a toggle switch, and even allows google translate to be applied. Images and tables are preserved.

"What's next?"Â We're so glad you asked! đ
We're incredibly excited about what's to come in our next release. Stay tuned to see how new GPT powered AI features will revolutionize the experience of long documents for staff and stakeholders forever, and make comment analysis unbelievably efficient at scale. Curious? Reach out and we'll give you a sneak peek.
SUMMARIZE YOUR DOCUMENT
For most readers, navigating a static document thatâs longer than about 10 pages is a daunting experience. With interactive summaries, we present a new way to curate your visitorâs experience with a welcoming message and an interactive navigational interface that drives traffic to the pages (or chapters) that deserve attention.
â
Adding a summary to your document will provide a radical improvement to the first impression visitors have, and enables readers to scan and dive deeper based on their interests because letâs face it, nobody reads documents front to back.
â
Be proud to share your materials by presenting a curated and interactive experience!
Create interactive summaries to help visitors explore your document on their own terms:
CUSTOMIZED GLOSSARY
Jargon-filled, hard-to-understand documents can affect a communityâs reputation for being citizen-friendly.
â
Our glossary feature allows you to automatically add help text popups over every instance of common jargon words or acronyms, adding clarity to your documents for the average visitor.
When visitors hover over an underlined word, a help-text definition will appear.
â
Adding one or even hundreds of definitions to your own document is now simple. Follow our two-column CSV template, add the words youâd like to be underlined in one column, add their definitions in the second column, and upload it to a field in your documentâs settings. View full tutorial.
PROJECT HEADERS: USE THE SAME URL FOR SEPARATELY BRANDED PROJECTS
Ever wanted to have uniquely branded spaces to host projects for different plans, clients, or departments on your Konveio site? Reach out to learn more about adding our project header feature to your current plan.
Apply a branded project header with sub-navigation across multiple web pages or documents, and even hide the siteâs header and navigation links as shown above.
This provides an excellent opportunity for cities to host different plans and projects, or for consulting firms to deliver a more premium experience to their clients.

REVISED TABLE OF CONTENTS MENU
Long documents are inherently busy and challenging to navigate. We further simplified the experience of jumping between sections of a document by increasing the readability of our permanent table of contents menu.
â
ENHANCED REPORTING DASHBOARD
With a quick trip to the report tab, you can now see how many visits your document has received. This is a great way to get a quick sense of how your project promotion activities are performing.
*Please note: Your document view count will not include any views that took place before your site received the update. It will be more insightful for consultations launched in the future.
BULK COMMENT TAGGING
Weâve made it easier to publish, unpublish, and tag comments in bulk to organize and theme entire consultations quickly. Simply check the boxes next to the comments you wish to change and use the dropdown menu in new bulk update box to make quick work of large amounts of comments.
A complimentary new feature (shown below) allows you to view more comments at once. Underneath the first page of comments, youâll be able to choose to view 50, 100, 200, or ALL comments at a time. Viewing a larger sample of comments helps to spot trends, more effectively leverage your browserâs search function, and tag comments in larger batches.
DISCUSSIONS ON DOCUMENTS
Discussions have been a valuable part of Konveioâs website experience for years. Now you can add the same (or new) discussions from your web pages into documents as well.
Simply create a new content overlay (pin) and select discussions. If the feature is available to your plan level, you will find the discussions dropdown available at the bottom of the list of content types.
â
COMMENT VISIBILITY AND TRANSPARENCY SETTINGS
Our clients often mention the benefits of residents being able to view and respond to comments made by other community members. However, there are scenarios where reducing bias and groupthink outweighs transparency and community.
â
âThatâs why weâve added the option to restrict participants from seeing any comment that they didnât write on any specific document. Â
This means you can apply separate settings to different documents. And you are now able to facilitate a staged feedback collection process where people add feedback without bias or groupthink, and in a later round with the setting removed, you can encourage participants to view/respond to the comments made by other stakeholders.
Alternatively, admins may reply to comments privately while keeping every comment and reply hidden from public view.
SHARE LINKS TO SPECIFIC COMMENTS OR PAGES
âHey did you hear what John Doe just wrote on page 33 about XYZ?â
Small icons have been added to comment windows and our page navigation menu that allow you to copy links which lead directly to a specific page or comment.
â
This can save time and drive engagement with staff members tracking changes, or the public since your social media outreach can now drive engagement to a particular page of a document.
â
Try it out for yourself! The following buttons will take you directly to a specific comment or a page.
